GETTING TO KNOW AFUR AND HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE

05 March 2024

The development of the times and technology has influenced the development of household appliances. Simply put, in the past people washed dishes in the bathroom or any corner of the house where possible. However, now it is made more practical, namely using a sink, such as a sink or kitchen sink.

It's just that, there are times when it makes us difficult when the drain in the sink is blocked due to a pile of dirt or food scraps. To overcome this, you need to use a water drainage filter or known as afur.

So, how do you choose the right afur? Check out the complete tips below: Tips Afur

1. Know the types first

Apart from washbasins and kitchen sinks, Afur is also used in bathroom bathtubs. There are two types or models of afur used, namely straight shaped like a bottle and curved like a swan's neck. Both are easy to open and close for cleaning. On gooseneck-shaped afurs, you simply open the connection in the curve to clean.

2. Basic materials used

Choose a fur that is heat resistant so it can be used for a long time.Generally, Afur uses brass, ABS and stainless steel as basic materials. However, stainless steel material is usually only used for pipe parts. Avoid afurs that use babet as the base material or a mixture of tin and iron because they rust and corrode easily.

3. Appropriate size

For sinks, the average standard size of a pop up afur is around 1.5 inches or around 6 cm. Meanwhile, the average exhaust installation measures 1 inch. However, for kitchen sinks it usually ranges from 1.25 to 1.5 inches because the activity in the kitchen sink is more frequent than in the sink.

4. Function of afur

Apart from being a filter for draining water, the afur functions as a cover for the flow to be collected. In a bathtub, for example, there is a button at the top to collect water and be used for soaking.

Afur kitchen sinks and bathtubs are usually equipped with afur flow, which is the installation of a water hole at a certain standard height. The installation is connected to the bottom of the exhaust pipe. When the storage water is about to overflow, the water will enter the afur flow hole first, then flow into the afur pipe hole so that the water does not come out of the reservoir.

5. Design suitability

Currently, Afur is available in various variations so that it can be adjusted to the concept and color of your sink, kitchen sink or bathtub.

6. Spare parts

Choose the Afur brand that provides spare parts if problems or damage occurs at any time. Starting from spare parts for pipes, pipe connections, rubber seals, and afur flow.

7. Guarantee

If you want to use it for a long time, choose an afur that has a guarantee. Usually, guaranteed products also provide spare parts, making it easier, safer and more comfortable for you to use them. If problems occur, you can directly contact customer care via customer service.

HOW AFUR WORKS

In essence, Afur works in a simple way, but plays a very important role in the water process in sinks, kitchen sinks and bathtubs. On the sink for example. Afur is equipped with anti-odor on the drain pipe. When the water comes down from the sink, it will flow through the afur. Then, in the middle of the pipe there is a water storage tube which functions to filter dirt and prevent odors from coming out of the drain pipe so that the dirt does not go directly into the pipe.

So, don't delay in completely rearranging your home equipment. Maybe there are some small equipment that was forgotten. For example, afur on the sink, kitchen sink or bathtub.

Don't forget to always clean it diligently so that it lasts and lasts a long time. Hopefully these tips help you!
